Obstetrix Medical Group of Houston, an affiliate of MEDNAX, has been awarded ultrasound practice accreditation in the areas of fetal echocardiography and obstetrics in all trimesters by the Ultrasound Practice Accreditation Council of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM). The practice is one of only three in the state with a fetal echocardiography accreditation.
“AIUM accreditation demonstrates our adherence to the highest standards of quality and safety in fetal ultrasound,” said Amber Samuel, M.D., the practice’s medical director. “We believe excellence in imaging, including fetal echocardiography, is critical to the care of a woman and her baby. We are proud to offer this degree of quality to our patients during their pregnancies.”
Obstetrix Medical Group of Houston achieved this recognition by meeting rigorous voluntary guidelines set by the diagnostic ultrasound profession. All facets of the practice were assessed, including the training and qualifications of physicians and sonographers; ultrasound equipment maintenance; documentation; storage, and record keeping practices; policies and procedures to protect patients and staff; quality assurance methods; and the thoroughness, technical quality and interpretation of the sonograms the practice performs.
